From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120 BuildID: 2001112009 It is impossible to set any search engine other than Netscape as the preferred search site in Preferences: the change of setting appears to have been accepted each time, but has no effect, even after closedown/restart. (All of this is true also of NS6.2.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to Edit / Preferences / Navigator / Internet search 2. Change the setting to Google or dmoz or anything that is not Netscape. 3. Click [OK] and click Search button. It uses Netscape. 4. Check setting in Preferences. It's still what you set it to. Close the browser. 5. Reboot the browser. Check the Preferences setting. It's OK. Click the Search button. It calls up Netscape. Actual Results: The Search button gives Netscape irrespective of Internet search setting in Preferences / Navigator.
